Introduction; Features - BARIX EXSTREAMER WIRELESS User Manual

1 Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your Exstreamer Digital from Barix AG.
What exactly is the Exstreamer? It is an audio network interface for your home stereo
system that streams MP3s from your PC and radio stations from the internet.
Even though possible, the Exstreamer is not meant to be plugged directly into your
computer but rather into your network.
The Exstreamer brings MP3 to a whole new level using sophisticated technology which
we kept as affordable as possible for you.
We designed this device so that you are not limited to listen to your MP3s being stuck in
front of a computer or having to listen to high quality music through low quality
computer speakers. The Exstreamer lets you enjoy your music in any room of your
home.
To make this manual easier to understand we have included a dictionary at the end of the
manual that links to each technical word (example: DHCP).
